Thanks

Ok, Twonky shows all my files but I can't play any of them. Do I need to install another player?

A couple of things come to mind.
1. In the Android app, make sure you have the phone selected as the player. Go to: Menu/Settings/Set Player. I find that some times I have to do that after restarting Twonky on my phone.
2. Perhaps a mismatch in codecs. What file types are you trying to play? My music is all MP3s and my movies are MP4s encoded in x264.
I'm running Android 2.2 on an Evo.

Ok, hint 1 worked for MP3's. Thanks!
I'm trying to ply avi files. I've never tried playing them before so perhaps that doesn't work on my EVO.
ANyways, thanks again.
